Vallferosa Tower: At first sight what attracks the attention is the fact that, being the highest tower in Catalonia, it is not placed in an elevated place with a good sight like L’Aguda mountain range or Sant Donat. But this is a wrong impression as we can quickly observe the tower it is not in the valley but the valley is spread out under it, constituting nearly a narrow pass or gorge ( which gives one of the possible etymological names of the word “Vallferosa”. Its situation, therefore would be strategic to control the passage of the old highroad to Solsona crossing the valley. 

For this first impression, an approximation to the study of this tower represents a pile of surprises: from the particularity of being a tower inside another one, to the excellent upkeep of primitive roughcas, which reminds the islamic constructions, and the unusual existence of a latrine or toilet. All this, constitutes an exceptional work untouched until now, thanks to its morphology of castle-tower, which makes difficult to be turned into a noble residence in the modern centuries.
